Attorney General John Suthers' office is negotiating with Facebook over a legal clause that could require state agencies using the social networking site to pay its legal fees if the company gets sued over something on an agency's page.

Facebook has quickly become an inexpensive method for both private companies and public institutions to reach target audiences. CSU, for instance, maintains a Facebook page with about 19,000 fans that on Monday was filled with posts from excited soon-to-be students, alums and community members.
